Our economy, as rated by the low unemployment rate and low inflation, is one of the strongest for our nation in 25 years. The Bush tax cuts have led to a remarkably strong economy.

The hatred of anything Republican these past eight years, by the four ultra-liberal national news stations and the California liberal press, has falsely given many citizens, who rely only on TV, the impressions of doom and gloom instead of a strong economy.

Irresponsible sub-prime borrowers and lenders, who made poor choices in funding overpriced homes with low interest loans, not supportable with the homeowners income, has seriously harmed our economy. The lowered Fed interest rate, has badly damaged our economy and is starting a cycle of inflation. Four dollar gas is not a big deal with fuel economical cars.

Democratic and Republic members of Congress and our state legislators have had runaway spending programs for unneeded programs, solely to achieve re-election. In 2000, the dollar was worth one euro. Today it takes $1.58 in almost worthless US dollars to buy one euro because of out-of-control spending by both parties. The result is $136 oil.

Nothing matches the awful 14 percent inflation and the 12 percent unemployment of the Carter era. Our homes in 1986 and 1994 sold at a 15 percent loss after 26 months on the market. Today”s inflation rate is only four percent, and the unemployment rate is a low 5.5 percent. Unemployment is so low that we import 16 million Hispanics to absorb the excess jobs.

By all measures including home value, savings, debt and jobs, the economy of today is outstanding.
